Decisions

During out live times, we all have to face them. Wether its going to see the movie with your favorite actor or choosing an insurance plan, we all have to face challenging decisions within our life.

So how can you truly tell the difference between what is the right and wrong choice? What may appear right to you may appear differently to other; therefore, causing you to think that making the right choice wasn't as great as you thought it would be.

Here's my belief: You can always make others around happy in life. Yes that is extremely harsh and yes it may be selfish but YOU are the only person that can control themselves.

This all comes with some sort of balance. Its illegal to go around and steal money from banks to make yourself feel better because you are explicitly putting other peoples feelings and lives at risk. Now..that may be the extreme version but it does exemplify why its is crucial to know the balance.

At the end of the day, only you can make the decisions in your life. People will constantly try to morph and shape you into the person you will become. However, you can then choose wether or not if you want to be that person.

The theory of "weeding and feeding" is yet to come adapted from Jon Gordon's The Energy Bus. 

Happy Friday!

The past and the future

People say that you should look to the future and not dwell on the past..

so topic of the night: PAST/FUTURE

what is more important? the past or the future?

well, i believe that they are both equally important. in order to move into the future, you have to understand and reflect on your past. therefore, the future is dependent on the past and it revolves on things that happened in the past.

you can control your future; you cant control your past.

Instead of imagining, "why does life constantly trying to knock me down? whats happens if i wont be able to get back up?" think of this:

what happened in your past that are negatively affecting you? people say don't focus on the negatives in your life because they will only bring you down. however, if you never focus and dwell on the negatives, how will you be able to fix those issues in the future? and how will you be able to realize the positives in your life?

I guess the overall theory is that you have to focus on the dark moments in your past to move to brighter things in the future.

Physical Therapy

Hello all... it will take a while to fully go over this. Heres the quick run-down.

Im at physical therapy right now. Why you may ask? For my back and shoulder. Thank you St. Mary's, I will never forgive you.

You know that saying what doesnt kill you makes you stronger? No. This was just pain and this photos barely do the pain justice. 

Took some medicene that knocked me out to relieve the pain. I went to school at 12 today because I could barely lift my eyes it took so much effort. It hurts to walk, carry a backpack, cross my legs, and just about everything. 

Cant avoid some sort of pain. Advil is barley helping. I want to let out little cries now and then. People dont get it; its hard to understand. 

Some day when I have the time, I will fully explain the situation. At least in bits and pieces. I just hate spending so much time focusing on something that bothers me. 

Thats all for now! Lets hope the pain subsides.

Extremely tired and in a great deal of pain tonight. I am absolutely miserable. Thats why Im heading to bed "early" even though its 11.

ehhh thats what famous people are for. 

*famous people blog entry soon??* 

would love to share my day. I have some picture to represent my pain. Ill leave you with this for now.

See the nail scratch marks? Thanks St.Marys.

On the Mind- Liking

What this post is about: well, I have no ideas. Let's see where it goes

They say you need a starting point. Maybe it is time to readdress Instagram.

Previously, discussed the importance of followers and follower and how it play a physiological role in children and teens everyday life now.

THAT'S JUST PART ONE.

Once you tackle followers/following, then you have to deal with another concept (also seen on social media site such a Facebook) -liking.

When something is "liked" by someone, it is shown to the world who liked it and what it is for.


Here is a photo that I posted this Sunday in the afternoon and it received a decent amount of likes-more than 30.

My goal as an "instagramer" is to post approximately 1-2 photos every week and get around 35 likes. That "like" number, however, steadily increases now and then because I gain more followers or Instagram becomes more popular.

Im not saying that I have these strict goals. On the contrary, what is the point of social media? To stay connected blah-blah-blah.....okay thats half true. Now though we have these numbers and stats that we try to perfect everyday, it is more than that. Liking does somewhat show popularity but not completely. It really depends on what it means for you to be "popular."

More discussions/debates with myself about social media and conspiracies to come. I hope everyone had a happy monday and that we all will continue to have an amazing week!

Ms. Driscoll

A random post for this moment. Just saw an old teacher and I thought of this.

And inside joke...I apologize for anyone who has absolutely no idea what this is about.

Goodnight-Instagram

As I'm typing this, I can barely keep my eyes straight. Still have my history homework to do :(

I did promise a few topics earlier so here's one before I continue the evening.

Instagram Topic 1: Followers/Following

A struggle teens now face everyday that are involved with social media. EVEN the popular kids (ill address their issues in a second)

Back when adults were children, they didnt even have the internet. Now teens are forced everyday to see how many people follow them, want to follow them, unfollow them, and then you have the vice-versa!

Following/Followers is a huge discussion. I will barely cover my whole thoughts tonight.

When someone "follows" you, it isnt forever. One click of a button and they could bring down the numbers on your list. Even if someone follows you, you now have to decide if you want to follow them back or not. The worst part of it all is that the person who may have originally followed you would unfollow you once you followed them.

Confusing right?

Its a physiological problem that toys with childrens minds.

Say you are popular 

Well that's for a different time. Homework calls once again.

Holiday Homework

Strangely indifferent here about homework over a break.

Most teenagers would automatically say how much the hate homework-even parents too! 

..there is that two percent that strive on homework and are considered "nerds" 

dont hate homework. dont like it.

perfectly in the middle here. I dont like doing the actual homework but i understand why the teachers assign it. 
    unless its just busy work like coloring or a hundred math problems-i cant stand that

NOT KIDDING JUST THIS SECOND MY BROTHER AND PARENT DEBATED ABOUT HOMEWORK! 

Here's what I heard:

dad: homeworks overrated
brother: so what you just dont want me to do it?
dad: i think its time for someone to go to bed
brother: i think so too
dad: this is totally uncalled for

you can believe anything you want but the above just happened (or somewhat of a rough translation)

Point Being: 

Teachers, please limit yourself to the amount of homework you give your students-especially over break. After a certain point, it drives everyone insane.

Thank you.

Counting Down

Today I hung out with my neighbor (oh she's also a good friend<3)

I also thought I'd start a little countdown:

-18 days till exams (english is first)
-25 days till Christmas Break (wooohooo!!)
          possibly the end of the world..?
-29 days till CHRISTMAS! 

and then new years a little bit after that...nothing big or anything if we survive 2012.

update on instagram life and 2012 thoughts coming soon.
